growth and focus on execution
July 24, 2023 Second-quarter highlights
- Group sales increased to EUR 4.5 billion, with 9% comparable
sales growth
- Income from operations amounted to EUR 221 million, compared to
EUR 11 million in Q2 2022
- Adjusted EBITA increased to EUR 453 million, or 10.1% of sales,
compared to EUR 216 million, or 5.2% of sales, in Q2 2022
- Order book continued to grow year-on-year, while comparable
order intake declined following a high order intake in Q2 2022
- Operating cash flow improved to EUR 135 million, compared to an
outflow of EUR 306 million in Q2 2022
- Simplification of the operating model and restructuring plans
on track
- Outlook for full year 2023 raised to mid-single-digit
comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA margin at the upper
end of the high-single-digit range
Roy Jakobs, CEO of Royal Philips:“We are
progressing to plan on our three priorities to enhance patient
safety and quality, strengthen supply chain reliability, and
simplify how we work, and I am pleased with our improved
operational performance across all segments and geographies in the
quarter.
We delivered 9% comparable sales growth, increased profitability
and improved cash flow, against a backdrop of ongoing macroeconomic
and geopolitical challenges. Our order book increased year-on-year
and will continue to support growth in the coming quarters.
Completing the Philips Respironics field action remains our
highest priority. The vast majority of the sleep therapy devices
are now with patients and home care providers, and we are fully
focused on the remediation of the affected ventilators.
Looking ahead, we are confident in the execution of our plan and
have raised our outlook for the full year 2023, acknowledging that
uncertainties remain.
I am grateful for the dedication and commitment of all my
Philips colleagues to deliver these results whilst working through
the changes to create a more focused and agile organization.”
Group and segment performance Sales for the
Group increased to EUR 4.5 billion, with 9% comparable sales
growth, driven by growth across all segments and geographies.
Adjusted EBITA for the Group increased to EUR 453 million, or 10.1%
of sales, mainly driven by increased sales, royalty income and
productivity measures, partly offset by cost inflation.
Philips’ order book grew 3% compared with Q2 last year,
including the good order-book-to-sales conversion in the last three
quarters. Following a high order intake in Q2 2022, comparable
order intake declined 8% (-4% excluding Russia).
Diagnosis & Treatment comparable sales increased 12% in the
quarter, with double-digit growth in Ultrasound and Image-Guided
Therapy, and mid-single-digit growth in Diagnostic Imaging.
Following a high order intake in Q2 2022, comparable order intake
showed a high-single-digit decrease (low-single-digit decline
excluding Russia). The Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 10.6%,
mainly driven by increased sales, favorable mix, and productivity
measures, partly offset by cost inflation.
Connected Care comparable sales increased 6% in the quarter,
with double-digit growth in Monitoring, partly offset by a decline
in Sleep & Respiratory Care. Comparable order intake showed a
high-single-digit decline due to normalization of demand after the
strong growth in the period between 2020 and 2022. Order intake
remains significantly higher than pre-COVID. The Adjusted EBITA
margin increased to 7.5%, mainly driven by productivity measures
and improved profitability in Monitoring.
Personal Health returned to growth as comparable sales increased
by 3%, driven by mid-single-digit growth in Personal Care. The
Adjusted EBITA margin increased to 13.4%, due to pricing and
productivity measures.
Productivity
Supported by significant change management efforts, to date
Philips has reduced the workforce by approximately 6,600 roles out
of the planned reduction of 7,000 roles by 2023 and 10,000 roles in
total by 2025. Operating model productivity savings amounted to EUR
112 million in the quarter. Procurement savings amounted to EUR 57
million, and other productivity programs delivered savings of EUR
68 million, resulting in total savings of EUR 237 million in the
quarter.
Outlook Based on Philips’ improved performance
in the first half of the year, solid order book, and the ongoing
actions to improve execution, the company now expects to deliver
mid-single-digit comparable sales growth and an Adjusted EBITA
margin at the upper end of the high-single-digit range for the full
year 2023, while uncertainties remain.
The outlook excludes the impact of the ongoing discussion on a
proposed consent decree beyond current assumptions, as well as
ongoing litigation and the investigation by the US Department of
Justice related to the Respironics field action.
Customer, innovation and ESG highlights
- Signed a 10-year agreement with University of California Irvine
Health to provide enterprise monitoring as a service combined with
informatics, enabling the health system to standardize, integrate
and scale patient monitoring in order to deliver better care and
reduce the technology burden on staff.
- Five top hospitals in Shanghai, with a total of more than
10,000 beds, installed Philips’ advanced Spectral CT 7500 imaging
systems, helping physicians deliver first-time-right diagnosis
through fast, low-dose X-ray scans.
- Expanded the image-guided therapy portfolio with the launch of
Philips Zenition 10, which provides a cost-effective imaging
solution to guide high-volume routine surgery, as well as complex
orthopedic and trauma procedures.
- Introduced the cloud-based Philips HealthSuite Imaging PACS on
Amazon Web Services. This cloud-based enterprise imaging solution,
which includes advanced AI-enabled applications, has been designed
to enhance image access speed, reliability, and data orchestration
for clinicians across the imaging workflow, while reducing costs
for healthcare organizations.
- In partnership with JD.com, launched the premium 7 Series
Shaver in China, debuting as the #1 shaver on this major online
shopping channel. Additionally, Philips’ DiamondClean 9000 premium
electric toothbrush has become the best-selling high-end oral
healthcare product on Alibaba.
- As part of the company’s carbon emission reduction efforts,
Philips and a consortium of companies committed to contracting
renewable electricity from a recently completed wind farm in
Finland. The 10-year agreement will deliver the equivalent
electricity needed to power 40,000 households.
Philips Respironics field action for specific sleep
therapy and ventilator devices To date, approximately 99%
of the new replacement devices and repair kits required for the
remediation of the registered affected devices have been produced.
The vast majority of the produced sleep therapy devices have been
provided to patients and home care providers, while the remediation
of the affected ventilators is ongoing.
Philips Respironics completed testing and analyses for the
first-generation DreamStation, System One and DreamStation Go sleep
therapy devices. The analyses indicate that the volatile organic
compounds and particulate matter emissions related to foam
degradation are within the applicable safety limits and are
unlikely to result in appreciable harm to health in patients.*)
Testing and analysis related to the affected ventilators is
ongoing.
The previously disclosed litigation and investigation by the US
Department of Justice related to the Respironics field action are
ongoing, as well as the discussions on a proposed consent
decree.

results and analyses available to date to the FDA and other

Abuse Regulation This press release contains inside
information within the meaning of Article 7(1) of the EU Market
Abuse Regulation. This press release was distributed at 07:00 am
CET on July 24, 2023. Use of non-IFRS information
In presenting and discussing the Philips Group’s financial
position, operating results and cash flows, management uses certain
non-IFRS financial measures. These non-IFRS financial measures
should not be viewed in isolation as alternatives to the equivalent
IFRS measure and should be used in conjunction with the most
directly comparable IFRS measures. Non-IFRS financial measures do
not have standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be
comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. A
reconciliation of these non-IFRS measures to the most directly
comparable IFRS measures is contained in this document. Further
information on non-IFRS measures can be found in the Annual Report
2022. Use of fair value information In presenting
the Philips Group’s financial position, fair values are used for
the measurement of various items in accordance with the applicable
accounting standards. These fair values are based on market prices,
where available, and are obtained from sources that are deemed to
be reliable. Readers are cautioned that these values are subject to
changes over time and are only valid at the balance sheet date.
When quoted prices or observable market data are not readily
available, fair values are estimated using appropriate valuation
models and unobservable inputs. Such fair value estimates require
management to make significant assumptions with respect to future
developments, which are inherently uncertain and may therefore
deviate from actual developments. Critical assumptions used are
disclosed in the Annual Report 2022. In certain cases, independent
valuations are obtained to support management’s determination of
fair values. Presentation All amounts are in
millions of euros unless otherwise stated. Due to rounding, amounts
may not add up precisely to totals provided. All reported data is
unaudited. Financial reporting is in accordance with the accounting
policies as stated in the Annual Report 2022. Prior-period amounts
have been reclassified to conform to the current-period
presentation; this includes immaterial organizational changes.
Philips has realigned the composition of its reporting segments
effective from April 1, 2023. The most notable change is the shift
of the previous Enterprise Diagnostic Informatics business from the
Diagnosis & Treatment segment to the Connected Care segment.
This business, together with other informatics solutions in the
Connected Care segment, now forms the Enterprise Informatics
business. Accordingly, the comparative figures for the affected
segments have been restated. The restatement has been published on
the Philips Investor Relations website and can be accessed here.
Per share calculations have been adjusted retrospectively for all
periods presented to reflect the issuance of shares for the share
dividend in respect of 2022. *) Non-IFRS financial measure. Refer
